Pharmacy is a professional program (usually the degree is a PharmD, but may be a bachelor's or master's degree in some countries). Upon graduation, you will work directly with patients in a drugstore or hospital.

Pharmacology and pharmaceutical science require you to do original research and earn a PhD. You will then do research for a pharmaceutical company or become a professor.

If you are not sure which one you'd like to go into, take an undergraduate degree in chemistry or pharmacology and make sure to check on the Internet and with your academic advisor (at university, not your high school academic advisor who may not know) to make sure you are getting all the prerequisites that you need for your chosen academic path.
